Bookmap connection instructions

In order to use Bookmap, you will need an active license key. If you do not already have a Bookmap license key, you can register for a free two-week trial here. When registering, you will need to ensure that you select Rithmic under Futures Connectivity / Data so that Rithmic data will be enabled for your license key. Upon registration, you will receive a username and password to login to your Bookmap portal where you can download the platform.

Once the platform is downloaded, enter your license key in the Activation window. You are now ready to connect your TopstepTrader account to Bookmap.

On the Bookmap run options screen, select Live data/Trading simulated by Bookmap. If you would like to use Bookmap’s Replay functionality, select Record Live data. This will record your session's data into a proprietary formatted file which you can later replay using the Replay run mode.

Enter your TopstepTrader account credentials:

User Name: (found in Account Information email)

Password: (found in Account Information email)

System: TopstepTrader

Gateway: Chicago Area

Once you click 'LOGON' you will be taken to a blank workspace where you can add your instruments.

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
